Good morning UGANDA April 19th

So many feelings, so many thoughts, what to share? Yesterday was a travel day. We were up by 7 and had a nice breakfast and recovered from the heat some. We had the opportunity to run the staff through our clinic and gave out some glasses. There was lots of time to reflect on this experience so far. The country is beautiful, the people are so friendly. The need is so great. God commands that we love our neighbor. When Jesus was asked "who is our neighbor" by the disciples his answer was not just the people we know and like but the people we may not even know or don't even like. The Ugandan people are easy to like. We could learn a lot from them. Can you (me) love the people we don't even know? My challenge is to love that person at church that I have not met yet and to support missions like you have all supported all of us. A vacation this is not, the great commission this is, but how amazing God can make it! Jeff Morhous

WHAT AN AWESOME God we serve! Today we had the privilege of going to BUKASA PRIMARY SCHOOL and doing some jja jja visits. We arrived in the morning and set up our clinic. I had the honor of being part of the Visual Aquity team with AmyLynn, Dina,Sunday and Alexander(a local young man). Today we served the students and faculty of Bukasa. It was so much fun working with them! They are so proud of their new glasses or sunglasses. They sang some songs for us and the kids enjoyed watching what we were doing and having their pictures taken. They love to see themselves in the pictures. In the afternoon I went with AmyLynn and a lovely young social worker named Nora. We walk from the school into the main part of the village to meet with the jja jja's. We stopped at the grocery store to pick up food gift bags. We take rice, beans, bread, corn meal,sugar for their families and we also took some toiletries and stuffed animals and an article of clothing for a child. They are so appreciative

Monday,Monday....sounds like a song.  Today was catch up day.  Catch up on laundry, some more shopping, and napping!  I participated in all three!  So since this was a rest day I would like to reflect on the past few weeks and some of  the people I met that inspired  me.   Generous was the pastor of the church in  Kasubu.  This woman's faith and her servant heart for trying to make an impoverished village better.  She knew the only way possible was through her trust and love for her Savior Jesus Christ.  Her drive and love of God was inspiring. She has touched.my life forever.   Mosses and Sundae are our two drivers who have been with us all two weeks.  Mosses smile is so contagious that you can't be sad around him.  He is kind and soft spoken. He loves Jesus and his life is one of a true servant of God.  Sundae is the enforcer of the two.  Younger in years he took charge the one day when the crowd got unruly.  His village in Gulu was our last visit and he is so proud of the

Beginning the Work

Sunday March 17:  I guess it’s actually continuing the work.  If you know us you know we have been preparing for a few months now.  Once we pulled out of the driveway Friday morning to drive to Buffalo, it was too late to squeeze in one more thing in to do.  The SUV was full to the brim with the suitcases for our clothes etc but also equipment. Sunday ... Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in Thanksgiving. Col. 2:6,7. Today we arrived in Saudia Arabia about 7:30....after a 12 hour flight... after a 4 hour flight...and a four hour sleep at the hotel......after a 7 hour drive.  But we weren’t finished.  We walked to the other end of the airport, got on a bus for 20 minutes. And boarded a plane for a five hour flight to Entebbe. Are you exhausted just reading that? So, yes we are exhausted.  Our adrenaline was keeping us going.  We got to Entebbe, Uganda about
